In Moshav Ramat Zvi, farmers and residents have decided to launch an independent fight against criminals threatening them with protection racket demands. The incident began after a tractor was set on fire in Ayelet HaShahar and threatening phone calls offering "security services." The residents, including Abramovich, Arbel, Devlin, and Ben Ami, emphasize they will not pay protection money. "Pay protection? That's really not an option," said Abramovich. "Ramat Zvi will not fall and will not pay anyone," said Devlin. Ben Ami called on the state to wake up and reminded of a promise for a pilot assistance program for threatened individuals worth 30 million shekels that has not yet been realized. The residents describe complete unity in the moshav and make it clear they will increase security if necessary.
